About PolarAligner Pro (Astro Tool)

Attention: Unfortunately, the app keeps getting bad reviews because the compass or spirit level doesn't work. This is then because the device does not have a compass sensor or a tilt sensor. An understanding from the buyer is very rare. A refund is of course possible. So please convince yourself before buying whether your device has the following sensors. -Compass sensor -Tilt sensor -GPS manual: https://www.kechkoindustries.de/polaraligner-pro The Polar-Aligner is a simple astronomical application for the northern and southern hemisphere to help you to align your mount easily. It includes basic tools for leveling your equatorial mount (spirit level) and to adjust it to north (compass). Choose the Settings for the conpass. -magnetic North -manual declination for True North -automatic declination for True North (offline calculation, no Internet needed) You can calibrate your spirit level with a real spiritlevel and have the highest accuracy for a smartphone. The daylight alignment is included for north and south hemisphere. The GPS gives you the most accurate information about your location with the altitude and calculate the position of Polaris and show you graphically the Polaris position, the Hourangle, exact location .... You get also information about Drift-Alignment. The tool helps you to get the right direction for the alignment. With the calculator, you can get the calculated result to align your mount with a small error.

What PolarAligner Pro (Astro Tool) Is Used For

PolarAligner Pro appears to be a phone app for astronomy setup, especially for aligning an equatorial mount before observing or photographing the night sky. Based on the metadata, it is used to help users point the mount toward north or the south celestial alignment direction, level the mount, and estimate the position of Polaris or related alignment references. It is aimed at both northern and southern hemisphere use, which suggests it may be useful for amateur astronomers who want a quicker alignment workflow in the field.

The app’s permissions and feature notes indicate that it may use GPS and network-based location to calculate location-specific alignment details such as altitude, Polaris position, and hour angle. It also mentions compass and tilt-sensor support, plus calibration of a virtual spirit level, so the app appears to depend on device sensors for its leveling and direction tools. The metadata also notes that some features may not work on devices without a compass or tilt sensor, so it seems best suited to phones that include those hardware sensors. Overall, it looks like a practical astronomy utility for mount setup, drift-alignment guidance, and basic location-based alignment calculations.
